Here is the deal, I have a P4 3.4 CPU and an Intel 915pbl MB. I could buy a quadro video card, 1 gig ram, 250 sata hd, and 16x dvd burner for around $1000.

but I'm thinking of selling my cpu and mb, take the mony from that plus the $1000 and buy a really good laptop. I found a laptop for $1400, with a 3400 athalon 64, 1 gig ram, 80 gig hd, and ati 9600 graphics (not intigrated).

so now I'm not sure what to do. any thoughts or advice would help!

oh, if your curious, I do mostly 3d animation, and video editing. I have another desktop I can use for games.


thanks

Just take into consideration whether or not you'd actually take advantage of a laptop's mobility or not. If you don't need it, screw it and go desktop... if the mobility would benefit you, well there you go.


Same here.

If the most important thing to you is video editing & 3d animation then you should stick with the desktop. Also the P4 is a better cpu for 3d animation especially if used with adobe software.
